What’s your dream?

[Man] Welcome to Hollywood. What’s your dream ?
Everybody comes here. This is Hollywood, the land of dreams.
Some dreams come true, some don’t. But keep on dreamin’.
This is Hollywood. Always time to dream, so keep on dreamin’.

Today I saw this photo on instagram, and I thought it was an amazing way to capture and focus desire on a daily basis, creating momentum to get what you crave and want in life.

Later, discussing Dream Boards, I learnt that when creating them, you are to be as specific as possible. This is a great idea, but how about when you do not know what you want, let alone how to make them specific.

A random conversation with a Historic Scotland employee who was piloting a boat returning from Lochleven Castle, reminded me of some of the dreams I had when I was a late teenager. I wanted to be a forces pilot, I wanted to take part in the round the world yacht race, I wanted to… to do a lot of things.

Now, I’m not too sure. Other than ensuring my children are happy and healthy and well-rounded, energised and motivated to live, I have no idea what I want.

I need a plan, I am going to make my Dream Board.
What will be on yours?

That’s interesting… I had a similar conversation with someone last night.
The thing about long drives for me is that I get loads of time to think. It’s hard to put into words… But taking the wheel and deciding directions and negotiating traffic etc helps me focus and navigate through my thoughts… Does it make sense?
Dreams… I had many if them. I wanted to be an astronaut… Then I wanted to travel… To photograph… To have a family… Don’t tell anyone… But I always wanted to have kids… I have made most of my dreams happen come to think of it… (Apart from being an astronaut… They just ain’t happening… Hehe… ) and I do t want to sound smug or anything.
BUT… The awesome thing about dreams is that we can always dream new ones… I have a few… I’ve dreamed some of them last night. ;-)
(I’m stopping here… Wow… Just wrote an essay! HA!)
Moral of the story. Keep dreaming… Them follow them and make them happen. If you don’t… Don’t worry!! You can dream new ones. :-)

Good to stop and think about your dreams every so often, doesn’t need to be a 5 step plan but having some idea of where you want to get to helps guide your decisions.
I’ve been giving this some thought recently too, mainly because I applied for a job (didn’t get it) but it made me challenge myself a little where I wanted my career to go and what I need to do to get there.
